There is no reason to squeegee a print. It is just inviting damage. Just hang dry for a few minutes then lay flat on a screen.

I've enlarged several 4x5 negatives with this paper and it is NICE!! Like it a lot.

Yes this paper is awesome!!

However, I ran a second batch today and more flaking: These were the same 8x10 "sample pak" sheets (Sept 2009 batch) I just bought a second batch from Freestyle two days ago.

I trimmed them down to 5x7 again, rotatrim, pre-exposure pre-processing.
50 minute Wash time, instead of previous "3 hours".
Light squeegee with acrylic brayer - much less pressure - just enough to roll off surface water

Some say squeegeeing or trimming or both is culprit and not to do either.

Nevertheless, I love the look from this paper. It puts my Ilford VC MGIV to shame.

Soon I will see how it tones.

Is Freestyle the only United States supplier of this paper? They are out of 11x14 until the end of October.

Also, 100 sheet boxes of 8x10 would be handy, and perhaps less expensive than four 25 sheet packages. Any thoughts who to contact on this? Even better, 250 sheet boxes! Beautiful paper!

Supply does seem to be a problem.
I just waited 4 weeks for a delivery of FB and resin paper, heard today it's been delivered tomorrow, so I've stocked up.

Shame if they lost customers because the product is superb, but let down by delivery.

I am with Merg. 250 sheet boxes would be great.

If you use the RC paper (we're talking about MCP 312 here, correct?) and they're out of Adox, just get the Arista Private Reserve. Same paper, very slightly cheaper. I'm about to experiment with it next for an RC paper. Currently I see 11x14 in both brands in both glossy and pearl in stock though.

I love the MCC 110. It's lovely stuff. I agree larger boxes would be nice even if they didn't save any money, but that seems to be why they aren't offered. Freestyle and Adox have said that larger boxes wouldn't present any economy, no cheaper per sheet. Of course we can also just buy four 25 sheet packs when it's in stock. Larger boxes would be slightly more convenient but really only slightly so.
